MICHAEL O'Neill has called Aberdeen defender Callum Morris into the Northern Ireland senior squad for the first time following the withdrawal of Tom Flanagan with a thigh injury.
The 26-year-old central defender, was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne but qualifies for Northern Ireland through his father who hails from Belfast.
Morris began his career in the North-East with Newcastle United but was released as a teenager and dropped down into non-league football with Blyth Spartans, Hayes & Yeading United and Morpeth Town.
He returned to the professional ranks four years ago, signing a one-year deal with Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic before moving to Scottish Premiership side Dundee United in June 2014, but was released after they were relegated at the end of last season.
Morris signed a 12-month deal with Aberdeen over the summer but has yet to make his first team debut for the Pittodrie side.
